Most armor and weapons take far too much karma to be useful, so I've started to look into using karma for cooking. As more players raise cooking, however, I find cooking to be fairly unprofitable.

Assuming that I have only k karma, how can I efficiently use this karma to benefit a level 80 character? There is no direct way to convert the karma into coins as all the items you trade with karma are immediately soulbound on acquire. However there are some important uses for karma.

If you ever want to level your cooking you will need to save some to buy recipe items. Although the cooking items aren't worth much on the trading post, the magic find bonus will give you better drops and the stat bonuses could effectively keep you alive when otherwise you wouldn't have. In this way you indirectly make money by not having to fix your armor. A copper saved is a copper earned. Another important use for karma is to obtain recipes for crafting. With the exception of cooking, you need to buy recipes from all the master crafters in order to reach level crafting.

Once you reach about level , all the recipes are grayed out and you can't earn any experience unless you use the recipes from the master crafter that you need karma to buy. You can use it to buy armor and weapons and accessories from karma traders around the world to supplement your gear if any of them fall behind.

Please note that you should not use your karma to buy cultural weapons. The cultural weapons do not go towards any title and is only rare not exotic so it is not max stat. Since they cost 63k each, it is not an effective way to spend karma. However outside the Gate of Arah, you are able to buy maxed Exotic Armor pieces for 42k karma a piece.

I find this the most effective way to spend your karma. As of now, a piece of Exotic armor is equivalent to about 2. If you save up the karma you can buy a complete exotic armor set and save about 15g you would otherwise have to directly spend. It depends on your current equip. If you got already an full exotic armor, you can spend the karma for obsidian shards. You can use these obsidian shards to create rare crafting materials at the mystic forge. If you still need an exotic armor, you should spend your karma for the orr armor pieces.

You need somewhere between k and 1mil karma per legendary weapon creation. That's what you should be saving every single penny for. For the armor, you should just buy a traveler's FC: Minatosa town Dream Address: User Info: Aerzel. Well, I've been spending it. After hoarding about 30k karma on my way to level 80, upon dinging, i realized I could buy all of my exotic gear through the auction house, so I've been spending karma on other items until I have enough gold for all the exotics I still need.

I had a lvl 11 acessory all the way up to lvl 80 lol. If you're reading this, then I just made you lose a few seconds of your life, which you'll never get back. Enjoy your day.

User Info: steker16 steker16 9 years ago 2 its better to just hold onto it because theres not a single thing you could buy pre 80 with karma thats worth it excluding cooking materials, which are dirt cheap anyway.

The only reason I would buy low level karma gear would be if I liked the look and thought I would use it as a skin for higher level gear. Not really, with the exception of things like breather masks that seem somewhat hard to find otherwise.

Ah yes. I just realized that too. My mistake. Perhaps exotics gear is not a good way to monetarize karma point. I believe you can buy other stuffs like cooking ingredient or crafting materials which you can then sell on trading post. This is a nice way to monetarize those karma point.

You can buy the temple gear and throw it in the mystic forge. Karma ingredients are account bound, I think what Assassinin is suggesting is cooking with those ingredients and then selling the result. Getting cheap karma exotics WvW gear comes to mind and tossing them in the Mystic Forge would also get around the no-salvage, no-sell problem, I think.
